IE 6 dropdown selection area too narrow

Scrum, how to handle bugs in the sprint and how to time estimate bugs

I'm working in a Scrum project writing firmware code in C for an ASIC. Every so often we have really hard to find bugs. But how do I time estimate these bugs?

NetBeans importing libraries on its own

I am having a problem with NetBeans projects. It affects everyone on my team, for every project. Whenever a project is opened, or even sometimes seemingly at random, NetBeans (6.1) will add two libraries to the compile-time list. Normally this would go unnoticed, but the inclusion of these libraries causes JBoss to unceremoniously grenad...

When applying a bottom border to a table, with "border-collapse" set to "collapse", weird random bottom borders appear below some table rows, of varying widths -- they appear and disappear when scrolling, sort of like the IE6 "peekaboo bug"; resizing the window, or switching to another application and back again, makes them go away, scro...
